Abstract:
Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of cell death implicated in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. In this issue of Cell Chemical Biology, Shao et al. (2022) and Wang et al. (2022) describe imaging techniques to monitor ferrous iron levels and iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, two key determinants of ferroptosis sensitivity.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique that provides crucial insights into the body's physiological functions at a molecular level. It is an indispensable resource for diagnosing, staging, and monitoring various illnesses, notably cancer, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular conditions.
